Just started the game the other day and my god those red flower jump things are pissing me off

Pogo jumping in the first game wasn't that bad to get used to, but here the added difficulty of getting the angle right and the seemingly inconsistent jump height is just so frustrating...
As others have mentioned, it's actually not that intuitive. Usually you'd rather wait til you get a style with a better pogo. There's one with a wide swipe down that's significantly better for pogo for all future intent. But if you want to go through with the diagonal pogo instead, bizarrely, they fucking programmed the jump so that the distance between you and the pogo object is what determines your bounce velocity and height.

I've honestly not seen that in forever. It really feels like your current velocity + a small reset of momentum into a fixed momentum upon pogo is what should be happening like it is for most games with pogo. Instead it just determines the exit based on how long you had left on your down attack dash, essentially.

I've tested this with my friends and one of them was doing it way more consistently than others. The only thing that was different really was just the closeness the body was to the flower when down slashing. The angle of hitting the flower didn't matter, dashing or whatever the hell you do b4 didn't change anything.

Ok finished up Mount Fay, Bilewater and High Halls. Not sure if there are any other areas other than Memorium to check out as the map looks fairly complete. Might be time to take out what Im assuming will be the final boss area now that I have all 3 songs

But I also feel Im missing a lot of things I feel so there must be more

Based on what you just said: yeah, you have some other locations.

I looked it up cause I realised spoilers mean absolutely nothing in this game since knowing the area or boss name doesnt mean anything to me haha

have Verdania? Maybe it doesnt sound familiar. Weavenest Atla, The Cradle, The Abyss and Putrified Ducts. Putrified Ducts annoys me cause I spent a while looking to see if there was anything more in that area then the quick circle but couldnt find anything

I keep forgetting I got this game's Great Slash equivalent and it probably would be useful given how often you can only get one quick slash in.

It's not actually blocked from the top. Only the main shaft is. There's a tunnel you can take that goes around the blockage in the upper right corner of the room.

So I just saw a strat on YouTube for beating Groal that involves just getting eaten by him and just smacking him up from the inside so that you do more damage to him than he does to you.

I have come to find that you can use the Pollip Pouch + Plasmium to poison yourself or the Pollip Pouch + Flea Brew to poison yourself and I can't test it because I already beat him, but I want to know if there's any interaction for poisoning yourself and then getting eaten by him if someone who hasn't beaten him wants to test it for me.

Stopped playing for the day and looked it up and yeah I never would've guessed. Considering how long these fights are starting to take, I'm just gonna... upgrade and never look back

Fuck me, I finally did the Mist. That's the first time I've had to look something up in this game. First I had to look up how the fireflies worked; I'd cottoned to the idea that they were meant to guide you, but to me at least, they seemed to be pointing a direction even without playing the needolin.

And second, I looked up where to find a bench because I was on one health and I was not doing that shit again if I could help it.

I basically ignored Needolin the entire game and everything that required it Mist, certain doors, even stunning bosses with your music I had no idea about until I looked it up.

Nothing is insane with the power of Save and Quit. >_>

Edit: after having gitted gud from my normal playthrough, only the following bosses gave me any trouble in Steel Soul, no particular order.

Last Judge (largely due to how weak you are when you fight them)
Guardian Seth
Father of the Flame
Karmelita
Act 3 final boss

If I were going to attempt a Steel Soul run without quit escaping, I would probably skip all of wisp thicket and not do Karmelita.

There's another delivery quest that takes you past the ducts that I found far more grievous. Not timed and idk if it even counts for completion but took me way more tries.

Isn't Karmelita safe to do in Steel Soul since it's in a dream sequence? If anything, the one to skip would be Nyleth, since she's blocked by Seth.

I closed up quite a few loose ends today.

Finished collecting all the Mask pieces, Spool bits, acquired the remaining Crests and found enough Memory Lockets to fully unlock them all, went back and beat the second round of TROBBIO!!!!.

I also realised that I missed my chance to get the cursed ending so that's something I'll do on my next playthrough. I think I just misunderstood which part of the game I was supposed to get it during. I've missed a few Hunter entries so I'd be needing an extra playthrough eitherway.

Still got a few extra fights dotted around the map and I also need to finish that Passage of ages quest but I heard that gives an extra ending so I want to beat the game before I go for that one.

All I have to do now is fight the final boss. I got a couple of meaningful upgrades since my last attempt at this and I'm about as strong as I can possibly get now so I should have an easier time of it.

Far Fields, Wormways, and Bilewater. There are also some others, though they'll require some plot stuff you get to later and/or cannot really be missed and just require that you realize that they all have the same icon on the map + are the same type of door or you'll just never actually progress.

Aside from the rasher to get the pale oil, not really. The queen's egg can get you extra silkeaters but that's about it as far as I can tell and the silkeater is so far out of the way that it's not worth going to.
